"Augusta National Golf Club (Augusta National)" Flyover Tour

One of the best courses in the world

I have heard rumors that turf dye is used heavily but that may be superintendent jealousy. I'm pretty sure that all the fairways are a Bermuda Hybrid like TifWay and the greens are Bentgrass - probably pencross.

@RainJetSprinklers ...good question, but no dye is used on the grass. All the fairways are bermuda, but they are over seeded in the fall with ryegrass to get the color. The greens have been changed at least ten times since 1982, when bent was first introduced. They now are a mix of A-1 and A-4 bentgrass.

It looked better when they striped the fairways

the course is still amazing though

i see several holes where not only does your tee shot have to be perfect but your approach as well.

i want to play there just once in my life i would pay almost anything. It be even better in tournament conditions

excuse goimboy you're clearly just an uninformed hater. Augusta National has stood the test of time through the past decades, albeit with course changes. Only to reflect the changes in the technologies of the times; Further balls in-tuned clubs etc. It has stood the test of time in a way that NO OTHER course has been able to. Thats why it is the ONLY major that's "tied to the hip" (lol Martha) OOOhhhh n p.s. long live the R&A and long live St. Andrews

@xoxlabellavitaxox AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA he's the uniformed hater? Augusta National hasn't stood the test of time, the Masters Tournament has. The only golf course that has truly held the test of time is St. Andrews. Augusta is not nearly as dynamic of a course today as it once was. Clifford Roberts single handedly eliminated the ground game from the course and turned a great strategy layout into a glorified target track.

@xoxlabellavitaxox Would I like to play Augusta? Of course. But I would much rather play a game at St. Andrews, Pine Valley, Cypress Point, Bandon Dunes (any of them), Sand Hills, ect.

Why don't you read up some before you think you know everything. I suggest you Google "Augusta National changes over time" and choose the Golf Digest link and then look up Golf Club Atlas. Golf Club Atlas will teach you everything you need to know about good course architecture.

[Goimyboy]

I think that all the fuss about Augusta is exaggerated. It only got so much fam trough the Masters, the only major always held at the same course. The current layout is NOT in tune with the one MacKenzie and Jones intended. There are many better courses in the world, Augusta might just be the most famous.

[frankbombs]

its not just the course itself. its the elitism of the club as well.

[lilbreakdancer7]
